Hey guys. I've been trying to think of some cosmestic things to spruce up the cl a bit while I do this turbo project so i was thinking of getting some HID's if they aren't too expensive. I found these and I was wondering if they would be any good-

I don't know anything about HID's really, this is very new to me so if you could fill me in on anything I need to know on them, whats good, whats a waste of money, that sort of thing I'd be very appreciative. thx guys

 

you get what you pay for.

i've heard good things about ebay hid's but also the occasional bad ballasts

 

I have 8000k hids from ebay, they work just fine. Best bang for my buck.

But I have a 2nd gen, so it's PnP.

I'd go with Josh and buy from him. He does not sell crap, only the good stuff.

 

kaixen or phillips ftw............

<------had kaixen for over a year no complaints

 

www.mod-express.com

 

Exactly right, the wiring is really shitty on the ballasts and the ballasts burn out, Kaixen is quality and has a warranty

 

DO NOT BUY THEM!!!

I bought the same kit (different vendor) and i had to return them TWICE for replacements of both ballasts and bulbs... I spent total of ~$30 in shipping.... They do have a 12mo warranty on ballasts and 18mo on bulbs, but it's not worth the trouble and money to send it back every two weeks or month...

You might have better luck than me, but i'd never take that chance again...

 

 

Mod express has some good prices and they seem to be of decent quality. Who knows, I'm just brainstorming any cosmetic things along with the turbo, including painting the back bumper and hopefully tints

 

you drop it yet?

 

i went through Mod-express and they are good product. I've had them for about 1 year and a half, and no problems. Mod-express sells a lot over at Honda-tech, so maybe u can check there for reviews as well. But I got mine from Mod-express and no complaints.

 

Mod express is a good product, i'd stray away from ebay hid's.

If you start a thread with the title horrible? That probably means they are

 

haha, no problem, just found a smokin' group buy on honda-tech for a reputable HID kit for $140 shipped, H-T GB FTW!

 

I could use a set of for my 4Runner till I retro my other projo's into it. Thanks for the heads up I may grab a set.

 

No prob, grab a couple and I'll buy one off of you once I've built up my paypal account enough lol

 

i bought the purevision set off ebay for about 150. they might not be the best in the world, but the install was easy and it is a dramatic improvement over halogens

 

yeah... i have kaixen on mine but i have bought like no shit 13 sets of ebay ones for cars i have bought and sold and i have not once had a problem except a bad bulb which they replaced for free.

 

just piece together your own kit, it will even cost you about the same.

1. philips or osram bulbs rebased to 9006 (get d2s, they work better in our housings ive heard)
2. philips or hella ballasts
3. upgraded harness
4. win

Run an ebay search for "9006 d2s" and theres a bunch of people selling quality pieced together kits

 

As long as you remember that you HAVE to find rebased

 

question but whats rebased?

 

i have some mod express ones, they aren't plug and play, they are, but not really. just the male lugs you plug into the existing 9006 socket. 8000k, took a while to get because they wereout of stock for 8000k 9006 kits. paid about $230 for them with shipping, haven't had a problem with them yet.

 

AZN: They take a d2s bulb, remove it from the d2s base and put it on a 9006 bulb base (ie where the wires connect) so you can use them on a 9006 plug

 

I have those same ebay hids for about 7 months still no problems

 

i have the ebay hid's, love em no problems
